Overview

Welcome to the New International Radiobiology Archive. We are working to help researchers generate new findings from the data and tissues accumulated from more than 200 radiobiology mega-studies performed in the 20th century. The application of new techniques and statistical methodologies to these archived materials promises to push forward the understanding of radiobiology while maximizing the value of irreplaceable experimental work that has already been funded and performed.

In order to understand these results, it is important that the original studies are well documented and accessible. This wiki serves as a registry meant to organize the documents, data, and tissues available from current and historic radiobiology experiments. It has been produced as a collaboration between the European Radiobiology Archives and The Woloschak Laboratory [1]. With the support of NASA and the US Department of Energy. We welcome contributors.

Our Goals

Scan original documentation

Wikify radiobiology sources so they can be accessed by study

Open these materials to the world

Draw together a group of active contributors.

Documentation

There are many sources of documentation for archival studies. By far the most complete and comprehensive report is the "International Radiobiology Archives of Long-Term Animal Studies I. Descriptions of Participating Institutions and Studies" by Gerber, Watson, Sugahara, and Okada [3].

We recommend starting with this report as a general reference and then pursuing more detailed and specific documentation listed for each study.
